Wyevale Garden Centres invest in new EPOS

 

Earlier this week Oracle in Redwood Shores California announced that Wyevale Garden Centres have invested in the Oracle Retail Stores suite of solutions including the latest version of Oracle Retail Xstore Point-of-Service, Oracle MICROS Hardware and Oracle Retail Customer Engagement with Oracle Retail Consulting.

 

Oracle say that the significant investment (reported elesewhere to be £7.5m) builds on the relationship between Oracle Retail and Wyevale as the brand transitions from MICROS solution Retail J to Oracle Retail Xstore Point-of-Service.

 

Andrew Parr, IT Director, Wyevale Garden Centres said: “Oracle Retail Xstore Point-of-Service will deliver a substantially improved experience for both customers and colleagues and is the foundation for our future development of an integrated omnichannel platform. With the migration, we look forward to taking advantage of the benefits of the integration and modern functionality of the Stores Suite with the Oracle MICROS hardware”

 

“Oracle Retail Consulting has been working hard to create a rapid deployment model for our Oracle Retail Stores Suite of Solutions. We are committed to Wyevale’s success from pilot through the rollout,” said Lou Frio, Vice President, Oracle Consulting.

 

“We are thrilled with the expansion of our partnership with Wyevale. Our hardware and software are engineered to work better together. We have integrated design and user experiences that give consistent content delivery across multiple devices, from tablets to workstations to empower associates and consumers,” said Ray Carlin, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Oracle Retail.

 

International Toy Retailer Hamleys deployed Oracle Retail Xstore Point-of-Service across its UK, Republic of Ireland and Finnish store estate earlier this year.
